Writing to files

In this section, you will learn to write to files in JavaScript.

writing to a file

To write to a file, use the fs module. The fs module provides us with a bunch of functions that allow us to read and write to files, similar to the file() function in python. Example:

const message = interaction.message;
file.write(message);

Where file is a createWriteStream that was created earlier.

question

We can now write to files, but what event should cause us to do so? What event should happen that would cause us to write our message to a file?

Potentially this could be an event that triggers every time a message is sent...

tasks

  • Everytime that a message is sent, call the file.write() function to write it to a file.
  • Verify that all your messages that are sent are inside the file.
